Answer to Question 1

Entropy is defined as the ratio of the heat content of the refrigerant to its absolute temperature in degrees Rankine, expressed in terms of Btu per pound per degree

Answer to Question 2

The temperature increases as you move up along a constant enthalpy line in the constant quality area.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
